18 Months old

I can hardly believe that my baby girl is already a year and a half old. She is not so much of a baby anymore, but she is getting fu to do things with. The other day she got to have her first pony tail which she left in for part of the day and then sporty some crazy hair for the remainder of that day. I have pictures, but they are on my phone so that will be a project for another day. She is also loving the warm weather and the time that she gets to spend in the water.
I do believe she is teething yet again, but I'm pretty sure she only has a few more teeth to get before she is done for now. We have not been ofr our check up so when I post again I will put pictures and stats on this blog. If you are wanting to see pictures now of the kids check out the family blog page.
I'll try to be back on here to post again soon.

I'm still growing

Well, I have been quite busy since I last posted. I have had my first Christmas and my first birthday. I actually celebrated my birthday three different times in three different cities. First, I had a party while we were celebrating Christmas in Fort Wayne, then at home the day before my birthday, and in Indianapolis on my birthday.
I have also started getting to drink whole milk and eat everything my mommy, daddy, and Gabe eat. I also like to feed myself, but have not yet mastered at fork or spoon.
I am also walking everywhere now and have been for a few months. I am also trying to master climbing stairs without crawling up them. Mommy says I'm still a little too small for that yet, but I still like to try.
I'm also interested in trying to use the potty, but I don't talk much so I can't tell mommy or daddy when I have to go so we will be working on that for the next few months. Mommy says maybe by the end of summer I will be doing good by using the potty all the time.
I'm sure there is tons more and my mommy will try to post more often so people who still visit my site can watch me grow.

9 months old

Well Rebekah is oficially 9 months old and went for her well-check on the 29th. She was 19 pounds and 6 ounces (60th percentile) and 28 inches (70th percentile). We also found out she too has a big head (90th percentile) which was not a surprise since her big brother did too at this age.
She has now started pulling herself up in her crib and on other things she can "cruise" around. The doctor said she thinks Rebekah will be walking before Christmas so for us to be prepared. So for now I will leave you with a few pictures.

8 months old

Can you believe our baby girl is already eight months old. Oh, how times has flown by. She is sitting up like a pro and is beginning to arm crawl. She also enjoys trying to pull herself up which has prompted me to lower her crib mattress. She has not went to the doctor in a few months and will not go until she is 9 months which is the 29th on this month. Since I last posted she has gotten her two bottom teeth and three teeth on top.
I will be sure to post again soon, but for now I will close with a few recent pictures.

Beka's first time eating spaghetti. Yes she is eating table food and is not interested in baby food that she can not feed to herself.

Well Check Stats

Rebekah went for her 6 month well check and she is doing great. She is now weighing 16 pounds (41st percentile) and is 26 inches long (46th percentile). She is now sitting up and is in the process of teething, but has no teeth as of yet. I will post pictures soon.

6 Months

I was going to wait until after Beka's well-check on the 8th, but I have so many cute pictures to share that I figured I post a little something now and then post again later this week. In this past month it seems like she has been growing and doing more than in months prior. She is now rolling (only when she wants to though) and sitting with some support. She has also started scooting herself (almost like army crawling) on our bed. She is eating like crazy and we have pictures to prove it. We have let her have some table food which she thoroughly enjoys. She loves her jump-a-roo and playing in the water. Rebekah has become a very happy baby for the most part and here are the pictures to show you our six month old cutie.

Playing in the sprinkler with Aunt B and Gabe. She loved it even though it was cold water.

4 Months Old

Where has the time gone? My baby girl is already four months old and she is growing every day and doing things she didn't do the day before. We went to the doctor for her well-check and shots last Wednesday. Rebekah is still in the 10th percentile for her weight, but the doctor said that is fine since she is still following the growth curve just on the low end and she is getting much longer so that is a plus as well. While we were there Rebekah got three shots in her legs and one more orally and was put on Zithromax again for a virus that was in her chest. She is sounding much better and coughing a lot less. So for her four month update...
Rebekah is...
-13 pounds
-25 1/4 inches long
-eating rice cereal once a day
-can start fruits and veggies this week (I'll post pics when I have them)
-likes to pull mommy's hair
-coos and squeals a lot more
-smiles when people talk to her
-sleeps through the night in her crib (this is a big one for me since Gabe just started sleeping through the night in his own bed in the past few months)
-is growing much too fast
